Abstract: A floor care appliance, in particular a vacuum cleaning appliance, for example a vacuum cleaner (1) or a floor polisher, with downwardly directed bristles (11) arranged preferably around its outer periphery, the bristles (11) being fixed in a mounting strip (13), and the mounting strip (13) being positively held in a downwardly open receiving groove portion (14) of sidewalls (16, 19) inwardly extending projections (17, 24) being disposed on the sidewalls (16, 19). In order to enable force-free installation and removal of the mounting strip fitted with the bristles, the projections (24) of one sidewall (19) are displaceable into a release disposition for the mounting strip (13).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for performing work on a floor surface such as an electrically driven vacuum and polishing machine. The machine includes a chassis and a wand pivotally connected to the chassis by a pivot connection. A vacuum cleaner suction unit is mounted on the wand and the weight force of the suction unit acts outside of the center of gravity conjointly defined by the chassis and the floor working device mounted on the chassis. The floor working device acts on the floor surface with an uneven force distribution. A spring coacts with the pivot connection to shift at least a portion of the weight force of the suction unit to the center of gravity of both the chassis and the floor working device to provide a more even distribution of the force acting on the floor surface.

Abstract: A floor-care work disk (4) which can be mounted by a clip mounting to the drive plate (1) of a floor-care apparatus (G) and has clip-tongue passage windows (6) and a resting surface (9) which permits wobbling movement between drive plate (1) and floor-care work disk. The resting surface (9) is arranged on the outside of the clip-tongue passage windows (6).

Abstract: A dust filter bag (1) for a vacuum cleaner, having a holding plate (2) which has a tightly closed opening (3) for a suction pipe of a vacuum cleaner, the opening (3) being adapted to be closed from the outside by a separate closure flap (5) which has an insertion region (6). In order to achieve more favorable handling, in particular, of the closure flap, the closure flap (5) is detachably connected to the holding plate (2) in its open position.
